Played 3 rounds over the weekend on 8-13&14. Lets start with the tee boxes. A lot of them where pretty torn up and hard to find a level spot to tee off from. The fairways we in very nice shape. No bare spots and just the right cut. We were here for a work golf outing and very disappointed to find out that they had punched the greens last Monday and Tuesday. They were VERY bumpy and sandy. Customer service was top notch and we saw the cart a lot. The prices were very high 8 beers =$52.00.
I would like to go back and play both courses (the Palm course is closed for a green rework) when conditions are better.

Played sun 6/9, 7:30 am shotgun, perfect weather, 90 and slightly breezy; course in decent shape. main critique is there are a ton of fairway unfilled divots. if the players aren't going to fill them, the course maintenance should. greens were in decent shape, but slightly inconsistent speed. the putting green ran at stimp=10, most of the course was 9, a few were at an 8. overall a nice day. and highly recommend staying at the resort, for the pool and nightlife. the lobby bar is awesome, and the pool is usually insane.

Played sat 6/5, 8 am shotgun, HOT... 100 degree weather... 5 hr round... greens typically slow, but in great shape... overall , the course is in great shape. i noticed one hole, #16 i think, short par 4, tee box and fairways torn up due to irons and wedges, but rest of course is as good as it has been.

Summer greens were completely shot. One course was so bad they closed it. Not even worth summer price of $47

Stayed and played at the Marriott over LAbor Day Weekend. (The wife and I took advantage of a $200 per night + unlimited golf pakage). I played the Valley course twice on sunday (a.m. and p.m.). I was a bit surprised at the bare spots in fairways and just off the greens. The greens were somewhat sandy, but mostly fine. I shot my best score ever (76 from the whites) by myself while playing a solo round in less than two hours (good thing too as it was 102 degrees)..

Two positive comments:

1) the pro shop and starters were fantastic and polite.
2) the water from the fountains is especially good. They give you a cup and a coole rof ice and you just fill up every 3 holes.

Back in 2005 this course was incredible. What happened? Marriott shouldn't allow the courses to look like it did today. 08/10/08

Decided to play a round last minute while on a weekend getaway with the wife. ("Honestly babe, the clubs are ALWAYS in the car! Isn't that convenient??!?") Desert Spring Palms is the more popular course...apparently it's in a little better condition than Valley is...but there was no waiting on this course. Played a round on my OWN in 2 1/2 hours. OK, I started at noon and it was 114 degrees, but still... I loved this course. If you can overlook that some greens had some really bad bare spots it's a really fun layout. I had my best round in months, even including the fact that I was getting heat stroke on the last three holes. Bonus: the cart girl saw my birdie...woohoo!!! (One last tip: stock up on water for the front nine. No fountains or anything although there were plenty on the back nine.)

I was not happy with the condition of most of the greens. There were lots of bare, yellow, and slow spots today. The fairways were not to good either. Many times you will get a lie with no grass un... Continue »

I was not happy with the condition of most of the greens. There were lots of bare, yellow, and slow spots today. The fairways were not to good either. Many times you will get a lie with no grass under your ball. I wonder why the Palms side is in better shape??? The Valley side has less water holes but more fairways that undulate.
